SSIR Series: Plotting Impact Beyond Simple Metrics

Measuring social impact is complex and yet, essential for organizations, investors and funders to make decisions. That is why Natasha Joshi, associate director at Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, encourages foundations to move away from a single metric approach when evaluating their grantees.

On the show, Natasha also tells us why the role of philanthropy shouldn’t be to solve problems, but rather to enable others to do so.
